Neither -inum or -exec were in the expression list. Now I'm wondering if I'm capable of running all commands or if they're restricted in some way. Here's the expressions I can execute using find: EXPRESSION may consist of: -follow Dereference symbolic links. -name PATTERN File name (leading directories removed) matches PATTERN. -print Print (default and assumed). -type X Filetype matches X (where X is one of: f,d,l,b,c,...) -perm PERMS Permissions match any of (+NNN); all of (-NNN); or exactly (NNN) -mtime TIME Modified time is greater than (+N); less than (-N); or exactly (N) days I never knew it could be so hard to delete a few files... Anything else to try?
